Spain's Quiros (19-under) closed with a five-under 67 winning the European Tour's Dubai World Championship by two strokes over Scotland's Paul Lawrie. England's Luke Donald (16-under) had a solo third place finish.

Spain's Quiros, still hot after nearly winning in Hong Kong last week, tied the course record with an eight-under 64 establishing a four stroke lead over Sweden's Peter Hanson after 36 holes at the European Tour's Dubai World Championship.

Spain's Quiros (11-under) earned his fifth European Tour title with a one stroke win over Denmark's Anders Hansen and South African James Kingston at the Dubai Desert Classic. Tiger Woods (USA) finished with a double bogey seven to tie for 20th.

Spain's Quiros and James Morrison (England) tied at 11-under in regulation at the Spanish Open. Quiros won the one-hole playoff with a two-putt put when Morrison found the water. Seve Ballesteros and Sergio Garcia are the other two countrymen- winners at this event.

Last year was supposed to be the breakout year for Quiros, but he never quite got going, at least on the PGA TOUR. He played well enough overseas to keep his World Golf Ranking near theTop 50, so he'll again have some opportunities this season. With his talent, he's bound to finish well somewhere along the line.

2011

The long-hitting Spainiard is the most likely breakout candidate among the non-PG Tour members from 2010. Quiros played consistently well on the PGA TOUR last season, but he lacked that one really strong finish. One of these times, he's going to finish strong and boost his earnings number. Still, he'll mostly play in Europe in 2011.
